A lot of my likes or gripes for this update have already been touched upon by others, namely the coordinate towers. I appreciate their presence, especially since once you have Kerfur-O you no longer need to venture outside for transformers, servers fixes, or reports, so they remain one of the only maintenance tasks that force you to leave the safety of Alpha Base. It's good, even if I would rather stay inside. But they're definitely overtuned; in my first week I had to replace so many fuses. Thank god I found the crafting recipe or I would've been broke the entire time.

On the other hand, everything else about the game feels fantastic! I'm loving the new controls, don't really understand all the hate or "clunky" descriptions but a toggle for the old control scheme might be a nice addition. I love the flow of the workstation, now that it's in order of the signal process. The triangulation "minigame" for signal scanning imo is fun, but can get a little tedious pre-upgrades.

One bug that I've really noticed is when using the computer, when you're using the Database tab and clicking around, you can't use ESC to exit the computer. You first have to either click a different tab, or as I've been doing click on the edge of the screen once or twice after which ESC works for exiting. It's annoying but not game breaking or anything.

All in all I'm loving the update and can't wait for what comes next!

EDIT: P.S. Minor issues, the drone is now SO loud and won't leave until you hit the drone call button. I like that it stays until you're ready, but turning down it's volume would be great. Also I noticed you no longer receive a drive box with the drone delivery, not a huge problem and there's certainly surplus boxes around just the base, but it does seem a little odd for something that's required for your daily task.

Also major FPS issues in the base, while it's fine outside it. I know it's due to lighting and shadows, and in fairness I'm running the game on a somewhat dated PC now, AND I'm aware that the game is still in Alpha and isn't fully optimised, but it is something I hope can be improved in the future.
